If you’ve searched all of the big travel sites, like Travelocity, Expedia, Cheap Tickets - and you’re just NOT finding what you require, there are plenty of other sites that offer rates for smaller chains and privately owned hotels that usually aren’t listed on the larger travel sites. You’ll pay a small booking fee ($5.99) for using LodgingHunt.com to reserve your room, but you might just find a smaller hotel that is more affordable than a large chain.

For example, the Arizona lodging on their site lists small motels in Lake Havasu for just $50 a night, or lodges just a mile from the rim of the Grand Canyon. Their Illinois lodging offers motels and hotels in Chicago and every small town you can think of! Or how about Nevada lodging? Not only will you find the big hotels of Las Vegas that go for several hundreds of dollars per night, but I also found older hotels on the strip for just $39 - now that’s how to see Las Vegas on a budget! (I always heard about people finding rooms that cheap, but I’ve never seen those hotels on the big travel websites. They’re not for everyone, but they’re definitely affordable!)
